Slight dilemma. We've had several frosts in Piopio at Struan Farm, and the pumpkin vines have died. My gardening guru Anna suggested that it might be best to pick my largest Musquee de Provence pumpkins sooner rather than later, and store them. Hopefully they will continue to ripen. If not, another lesson learned. Next year, start them that much earlier?
I still have several smaller ones left on the vines on Hydrangea Hill in protected spots, so we'll see how they go. Either way we should have some pumpkin soup in due course!
